not  to  exceed  $50  a  month  v/hen  the  number  of  officers  and  men,  with 
authorized  laundresses,  is  100  or  more;  $40  when  it  is  from  50  to  100, 
and  $  30  when  it  is  under  50. 

56.  But  when  he  is  required  to  abandon  his  own  business,  and  give 
his  whole  time  to  the  public  service,  the  contract  may  be  not  to  exceed 
$80  a  mouth;  and  not  to  exceed  $  100,  besides  transportation  in  kind, 
to  be  furnished  by  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  where  he  is  required 
to  accompany  troops  on  marches  or  transports.  But  a  private  physician 
will  not  be  employed  to  accompany  troops  on  marches  or  transports,  ex- 
cept by  orders  from  the  War  Department,  or,  in  particular  and  urgent 
cases,  by  the  order  of  the  officer  directing  the  movement. 

57.  And  when  a  private  physician  is  required  to  furnish  niediciues,  he 
will  be  paid  in  addition  from  25  to  50  per  cent.,  to  bo  determined  by  the 
Surgeon  General,  on  the  amount  allowed  by  contract. 

58.  In  all  cases,  a  duplicate  of  the  contra'ct,  with  a  particular  statement 
appended,  of  the  circumstances  which  -make  it  necessary,  will  be  trans- 
mitted forthwith  to  the  Surgeon  General  for  approval ;  and  the  command- 
ing officer  for  the  time  being,  or  the  Medical  Director,  Avill  at  once  discon- 
tinue it,  whenever  the  necessity  for  it  ceases,  or  the  Surgeon  General  niay 
80  direct. 

59.  The  physician's  account  of  pay  due  must  be  sent  to  the  Surgeon 
General  for  payment,  vouched  by  the  certificate  of  the  commanding  offi- 
cer, that  it  is  correct  and  agreeable  to  contract,  and  that  tiie  services  have 
been  duly  rendered.  Bi,\t  on  the  frontier  or  in  the  field,  when  it  cannot 
conveniently  be  submitted  to  the  Surgeon  General,  the  contract  having 
already  received  his  approval,  the  account  may  be  paid  on  the  order  of 


MEDICAL    DEPARTMENT.  13 

the  commandiug-  officer,  not  to  exceed  the  regulated  amount,  by  a  Quar- 
termaster or  a  medical  disbursing  officer. 

60.  Private  physicians,  employed  by  contract,  will  conform  to  the  re- 
gulations, and  accordingly  will  keep  all  the  records,  and  make  the  reports, 
requisitions,  and  returns  required  from  medical  officers.  They  will  not 
be  granted  leave  of  absence. 

f)J.  When  medical  attendance  is  required  by  officers  or  enlisted  men 
on  service,  and  the  attendance  of  a  medical  officer  cannot  be  had,  the  offi- 
cer, or  if  there  be  no  officer,  then  the  enlisted  man,  may  employ  a  private 
physician,  and  a  just  account  therefor  will  be  paid  by  the  Medical  Bureau. 

62.  The  account  will  set  out  the  name  of  the  patient,  the  date  of  and 
charge  for  each  visit,  and  for  medicines.  The  physician  will  make  a  cer- 
tificate to  the  account  in  case  of  an  officer,  or  affidavit  in  case  of  an  en- 
listed man,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges  are  the  customary 
charges  of  the  place 

63.  The  officer  will  make  his  certificate,  or  the  enlisted  man  his  affida- 
vit, to  the  correctness  of  the  account,  that  he  was  on  service  at  the  place, 
and  stating  the  circumstances  preventing  him  from  receiving  the  services 
of  a  medical  officer. 

64.  When  the  churge  is  against  an  officer,  he  will  pay  the  account  if 
practicable,  and  transmit  it  to  the  Medical  Bureau  for  reimbursement,  hi 
all  other  cases,  the  account  will  be  transmitted  to  the  Medical  Bureau  for 
settlement. 

65.  If  the  charge  is  against  a" deceased  officer  or  enlisted  man,  the  phy- 
sician will  make  the  affidavit,  before  required,  to  the  account,  and  that  he 
has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

66.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  paid  by  the  Medical  Bn- 
reau;  nor  will  any  account  for  medical  attendance  or  medirines  be  paid, 
if  the  officer  or  enlisted  man  be  not  on  .service. 

67.  A  hoard  of  not  less  than  three  medical  'officers  will  Im>  appointed 
from  time  to  time,  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examine  applicants  for 
appointment  of  assistant  surgeons  in  the  regular  army,  and  assistant  sur- 
geons for  promotion.  And  no  one  shall  be  so  appointed  or  promoted 
until  so  examined  and  found  qualified. 

6H.  Tlie  board  will  scrutinize  rigidly  the  moral  hnbits.  j)r()fe3sional 
acquirements,  and  physical  qualifications  of  the  candidates,  and  report 
favorabjy,  either  for  appointment  or  promotion,  in  no  case  admitiiug  of  a 
reasonable  doubt.     ' 

69    The  Secretary  of  War  will  designate  the  appliounta  to  t)e  examined 


14  REGULATIONS    FOU   THK 

for  appointmeut  of  assistant  surgeon.*  They  must  be  between  21  and  25 
years  of  age.  The  board  will  report  their  respective  merits  in  the  several 
branches  of  the  examination,  and  their  relative  merit  from  the  whole;, 
agreeablj"^  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two  years  thereafter,  they 
Avill  receive  appointments  and  take  rank  in  the  medical  corps. 

70.  When  an  assistant  surgeon  has  served  five  years,  he  is  subject  to 
be  examined  for  promotion.  If  he^  decline  ^e  examination,  or  be  found 
not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or  professional  acquirements,  he  ceases  to 
be.,a  medical  ofiicer  of  the^army. 

71.  An  applicant  for  appointment  failing  at  one  examination,  may  be 
allowed  a  second  after  two  years ;  but  never  a  third. 

72.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint,  on  the  recommendation  of  the 
Surgeon  General,  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the  army,  or  cause  to  be  en-  ■ 
listed,  as  many  coilipetent  hospital  stewards  as  the  service  may  require. 

73.  The  senior  medical  ofiicer  of  a  command  requiring  a  steward,  may 
recommend  a  competent  non-commissioned  ofiicer  or  soldier  to  be  ap- 
pointed, which  recommendation  the  commanding  ofiicer  shall  forward  to 
the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  of  the  Anny,  Avith  his  remarks  there- 
on, and  with  the  remarks  of  the  company  commanded. 

74.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procured,  the  medical  of- 
ficer will  report  the  fact  to  the  Surgeon  General.  Applications  and  testi- 
monials of  competency,  irom  persons  seeking  to  be  enlisted  for  hospital 
stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon  General. 

75.  The  commanding  ofiicer  may  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the 
expiration  of  his  terra  of  service,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical 
ofiicer.  ^ 

76.  No  soldier,  or  citizen,  will  be  recommended  for  appointment  who 
is  not  Icnoicn  to  be  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable,  as  well 
as  sufiiciently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in  jiharmacy,  ibr  the  proper  dis- 
charge of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be  devolved  upon  him.  Until 
this  is  knotcn,  he  will  be  appointed  an  acting  steward  by  the  medical  ofii- 
cer, with  the  approval  of  the  couimauding  ofiicer,  and  wjll  be  entitled  to 
the  pay  and  allowances  of  hospital  stCAvard. 

77.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  Avheuever 
stationed  in  places  whence  no  post  return  is  inadi;  to  the  Adjutant  Gene- 
ral's ofiice,  or  when  on  furluugh,  will,  at  the  end  of  every  month,  report 
themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  xVdjutant  and  Inspector  Geneial  and  Surgeon 
General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  department  in 
which  they  may  be  serving;  to  each  of  whom  they  will  also  report  each 


MEDICAL    DEPARTMENT.  15 

new  assignment  to  duty,  or  cbange  of  station,  ordered  in  their  case, 
noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  and  source  of  the  order  directing-  the 
same.  They  wjll  likewise  report  monthly,  when  ou  furlough,  to  the  me- 
dical officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  -which  they  are  attached. 

78.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts  martial  are  the  s^me  with 
reference  to  hospital  ste\vards  as  in  the  cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When, 
however,  a  hospital  steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  re- 
duced to  the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  bqi^pproved  by  the" 
reviewing  officer,  will  ;iot  be  carried  into  effect  until  the  case  has  been 
referred  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  re- 
duelion,  the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  service,  though 
not  recognized  as  of  right,  will  generaUy  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his 
offence  has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially  when  he  has 
not  been  recently  promoted  from  tli(>  ranks. 

79.  Ag  thef  hospital  stewards,  api)ointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  are 
permanently  attached  to  the  Medical  Department,  their  accounts  of  pay, 
clothing,  &c.,  must  be  kept  by  the  medical  officers  under  whose  imme- 
diate direction  they  are  serving,  who  are  also  responsible  for  certified 
statements  of  such  accounts,  and  c{#rcct  descriptive  lists  of  such  stewards, 
to  accompany  them  in  case  of  transfer;  as,  also,  that  their  final  state- 
ments and  ceitificates  of  discharge  are  accurately  made  out,  when  they 
are  at  length  discharged  from  service.

72  REGULATIONS  FOR  THE 

about  ]50  pieces;  which  roll  in  flour,  and  Boil  with  meat  for  20  or  30 
minutes.  If  no  fat  or  suet  can  be  obtained,  take  the  same  ingredients, 
adding- a  little  more  water,  and  boil  about  JO  minutes.  Serve  with  the 
meat. 

v.— -To  FRY  MEAT. 

Place  your  pan  on  the  fire  for,  a  minute  or  so ;  wipe  it  clean ;  when  the 
pan  is  hot,  put  in  either  fat  or  butter  (fat  from  salt  meat  is  preferable); 
then  add  the  meat  you  are  going  to  cook;  turn  it  several  times,  to  have 
it  equally  done;  season  to  each  pound  a  small  teaspoonful  of  salt  and  a 
quarter  of  pepper.  A  few  onions  in  the  remaining  fat,  with  the  addition 
of  a  little  flour,  a  quarter  pint  of  water,  two  tablespooufuls  of  vinegar,  or 
a  few  chopped  pickles,  will  be  very  relishing.

ding cloths,  loosely  tied  ;  puttiug  to  boil  at  the  same  time  as  your  meat, 
in  sufficient  water ;  let  all  boil  gently  for  twD  hours ;  take  out  the  meat 
and  beans ;  put  all  the  m^at  into  one  boiler,  and  remove  the  liquor  from 
the  other ;  into  which  turn  out  the  beans ;  add  to  them  one  teaspoonful 
of  pepper,  half  pound  of  fat,  and  with  the  wooden  spatular  mash  the 
beans,  and  serve  with  the  meat.  Three  sliced  onions  fried  and  added  im- 
prove the  dish. 

[Note. — In  cooking  all  kinds  of  meat,  be  careful  to  preserve  the  grease, 
which  can  be  easily  done  by  putting  the  liquor  in  which  it  is  boiled,  by 
till  it  cools ;  then  skim  off.  and  place  in  a  clean  covered  vessel.  It  is  an 
excellent  substitute  for  butter;  is  useful  for  cooking  purposes,  and  will 
burn  in  a  common  lamp  or  tin  plate  with  a  piece  of  old  cotton  twisted 
up  for  a  wick.]

keep  warm ;  add  to  the  soup  your  flour,  which  you  have  mixed  with 
enough  water  to  form  a  light  batter ;  stir  well  together  with  a  large  spoon ; 
boil  another  half  hour ;  skim  off  the  fat,  and  serve  the  meat  and  soup 
separate.  The  soup  should  be  stirred  occasionally  while  making,  to  pro- 
vent  burning  or  sticking. 

II.— Beef  soup. 

Proceed  the  same  as  for  mutton,  only  leave  the  meat  in  till  serving,  as 
it  takes  longer  to  cook  than  mutton.  The  pieces  are  not  to  be  above  4  or 
5  lbs.  weight  each.  • 

III.— Beef  tea,  six  pints. 

Cut  three  pounds  lean  beef  into  pieces  the  size  of  walnuts,  and  break 
up  the  bones  (if  any);  put  it  into  a  convenient  sized  kettle,  with  ^  lb, 
mixed  vegetables  (onions,  celery,  turnips,  carrots,  or  one  or  two  of  these, 
if  all  are  not  to  be  obtained),  1  oz.  salt,  a  little  pepper,  2  oz.  butter,  ^  pint 
of  water.  Set  it  on  a  sharp  fire  for  15  minutes,  stirring  occasionally,  till 
it  forms  a  rather  thick  gravy  at  the  bottom,  but  not  brown ;  then  add 
7  pints  of  hot  water;  simmer  gently  for  on  hour.  Skiai  oS'  ail  tb©  iat^

Dissolve  a  feaspoonfnl  of  arrow  root  in  a  gtll  of  water,  and  pt)ur  it  into 
the  beef  tea  twenty  niintitos  before  passing  through  the  sieve,  or  add  i  oz. 
gelatine  to  the  above  quantity  of  beef  t  a,  when  cooking.

the  water  and  slightly  grease  the  pan  with  butter;  put  the  rice  back,  and 
let  it  swell  slowly  for  about  twenty  minutes,  near  the  fire.  Each  grain 
will  then  swell  up,  and  be  well  separated.  Flavor  with  nutmeg  or  cin-

A  piece  of  apple,  slowly  toasted  till  it  gets  quite  black,  and  added  to 
the  above,  makes  a  very  refreshing  drink.
